Abstract

Burned fish bones are frequently discovered in excavations of Stone Age settlements in Finland. All the surviving fish bone finds from the Stone Age are burned and very fragmented. The aim of this experimental bone-burning study was to find out what burning actually does to the bones. How much of the original bones is destroyed in the fire before the remains are preserved in the ground and how does this affect the conclusions we can make about the fish bone finds?
